The crime here is that Chicago's planning department is so badly understaffed that the alderman has to be the one doing site plan review.

Sorry Mr. FOT Parking Lot Representative,
But I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that the aldermen have too much power, and they abuse their power frequently. If the aldermen had less power then the city could create a truly powerful planning committee.Then we could get rid of NIMBYism once and for all.
